Satire was probably the wrong word. I think I meant pastiche. Oh, one moment.

IF anything, I think it says that we don’t know what real violence looks like. Watch the Bud Dwyer suicide video (or, don’t) to see what it really looks like. There is a man standing there, he pulls out a gun, there’s a shot, then a small stream of blood from his mouth, a slight “deflating” of his head, and now there…

I think there is a point. Possibly more than in previous games. Here, the sheer overkill, with fatalities having multiple steps with one last thing to add insult to injury after the enemy is already most sincerely dead, strike me as just gory slapstick that, while entertaining in its own right, also satirizes such…

Okay. This looks really good and fun. There’s also no fucking way I’m going to see it.

Interesting bit of trivia: You know how Chichi was always pushing Gohan to be studious, to the point that it actually started to hold him back despite him being potentially stronger than his father?

Uhh...are we still doing “phrasing”? We need to start doing “phrasing” again.

There’s a mod for PC that changes the victory message for Sif’s boss fight to “And then Sif teleported away”

I count myself as a Christian (with a lot of caveats that aren’t worth going into right now), and this just sickens me. I mean, holy shit guys, read your Bible! Jesus wasn’t just flipping tables in the temple as part of a Boke and Tsukkomi routine. Turning God’s house into a marketplace is the one thing in the Bible…

I disagree, kinda, on legit 1st amendment grounds. You can’t designate some subjects as political and others as not, and then discriminate by denying tax-exempt status to any church that broaches those topics in a way that you, the majority, or the government finds unacceptable.

A friend of the family’s 12 year old daughter once, in response to an innocent hug, jumped into my arms, wrapped her legs around my chest, kissed me on the mouth and told me how good I smelled. That’s a bit stronger come-on than she’s describing, and not something a kid who isn’t “at-risk” would probably do. My…

This reply is so tenuously related to the original post, I wonder if you have these at the ready and just copy/pasted the wrong one. If so, I applaud your foresight, I should perhaps consider it myself (it would at least cut down on my lengthier posts).

I know it’s cool to hate on Ariel, but have you ever tried looking at it from a trans or queer reading?

Oh, the huge manatee!

Me, I’m amazed that they managed to actually be shocking. I mean, we’re so desensitized these days, that the old MK fatalities seem downright quaint. As much as I liked 9, I was worried it might be losing its edge.

So all my slutty sims with Grilled Cheese Aspiration were realistic? Who knew!

I love it when something lame is mashed with something cool to make something utterly mind-blowing. I'll have to listen to this a few more times to decide if it unseats "Under Ice" as my favorite mashup of all time, though.

Same reason you shake a Polaroid: It gives you a false sense of agency, that confirmation bias will tell you actually works.

When did sandwich counters or public busses?

Everyone, I think you should know this.

You mean this in a negative way, but I think it’s more true than you know. People who feel good about themselves don’t go out of their way to tear down others. When people make snide comments to me about taking the elevator up one or two floors, they’re almost invariably old or have a visible disability. Those people…
